-----------------
What is "Al Younbouh"?
Alyounbouh has been founded in 1993 as an association out of nothing.
It immediately started, due to the need for a similar organization in the community. They only had the strong will of some mothers completely devoted to the cause of rehabilitation of young people with special intellectual needs and small donations funds. It developed very quickly gaining the confidence of the total community including families and companies.
It kept developing during its 18 years of existence with a very good management and appropriate care to the handicapped children as well as perfect maintenance of their buildings and equipments.
We have already an experience with Alyounbouh had already participated with them in financing a small project for popcorn machines supply and train children through the Club's funds in 2008 - 2009 and kept visiting them. Those machines are still kept in perfect shape and have generated income besides training the young handicapped.
In order to be able to accept more young people and keep giving assistance to the older ones,Alyounbouh started with an extension of its center for the older persons separately from the young ones and therefore will have more places for the younger in the existing premises.
Alyounbouh operates with donations, fund raising activities as well as charity sales of products made by handicapped.
Our contribution will consist in providing the equipment of a pastry where they learn to prepare cakes and sweets and work later in this field while their production will bring funds for financing their needs. The income resulting from the sale of products done with our equipment will secure sustainability. The project is not only humanitarian but also self sustainable.
